The next day, on the hot air balloon.

"You seem to be in a particularly good mood today." Qin and An Yinong leaned to the side to look at the scenery below.

They had left the coastline and entered the plains, and would soon enter the forested area where they had spent two days before.

"Well, it's nice to be leaving this game soon. I wonder how many stone slabs have been collected at the Sky Tower."

He put his hands together around his mouth in a trumpet shape, and a sharp whistling sound came out of his mouth, and countless birds and birds flew up from the grassy forest, as well as wild animals that surged like a tidal wave.

The sharp sword that threatened his life all the time was taken away, and no one knew the joy that An Yinong felt at this moment. He was more than happy.

There was also a bit of pain and anger mixed in with his joy.

An Yinong had never forgotten the pain of taking the sword and stabbing it into his heart with one hand the first time he crossed over.

It wasn't physical pain, it was the pain of not being able to resist fate, like a slave chained by the neck, seemingly free, but always in control.

An Yinong's emotional ups and downs were hidden from Tina, but not from Qin.

Qin didn't know what was happening, but what made An Yinong so happy that he lost control had to be a good thing. Since it was a good thing for An Yinong, it was a good thing for him, and there was no need to ask questions, it was good to be joyful for him.

The two stood under the hot air balloon looking at the animals that were surging toward the center.

Without knowing what method An Yinong had used, it seemed that the animals surviving in this land had all known the tragedy they were going to face, and they were all rushing towards the Rainbow City.

"Do you think the airship can hold them?" Qin asked.

An Yinong thought for a moment, "I don't know, but it's better than nothing."

"Swoosh-" a huge animal whizzed by and he recognized it instantly, "Hi! Papa Windrunner!"

The silver-white and divine wind-beast flew twice around their hot air balloon, and those beautiful eyes saw An Yinong and also saw Windchild beside him.

"Ow-" The Royal Wind Beast seemed to greet them, and after that, it sped up and ran forward.

"Ow-" Windchaser's claws scraped a few marks on the ground as it too ran out of the hot air balloon and chased it through the air.

"Windchaser, remember to come back!" An Yinong shouted, but they had already disappeared.

Even the Sentinel Beasts were heading towards Rainbow City, so it seemed that the other beasts of the same level had set off as well. They would bring a lot of trouble to the survivors over there, right?

However, An Yinong didn't regret doing this at all. Anyone had the right to survive, it wasn't about justice, it was only about position. And he was the Queen of the Bugs and the Druid, the voice of nature.

While the players in the game were all trying to find the stone slab, the warships of the seven kingdoms outside the game that were looking for the queen were stopped halfway by the alien army.

The alien race had been eyeing the starfield occupied by the insect race for a long time, so they were trying to find ways to provoke the internal relations of the insect race, wanting to start a war of aggression. So how could they tolerate a spiritual leader who could unite all the bug races coming out at this moment?

It was the best choice to let the foreign races in the game take action at this time. But most of the foreign races that entered the game world had already been killed, and beside the Bug Queen was the Seeker leader who had killed them for crying out loud.

The Fae then retreated to the next best thing: "This what's-his-name survival game of theirs has always been fond of tossing the little bugs in it, and also likes to let them fight amongst themselves for natural elimination. How about we take advantage of this opportunity ......"

The gathered foreign races felt that this was a good opportunity, ah, they could use intrigue to create chaos in the game, and then take the opportunity to seize the queen and hold him hostage.

Who knew that the theme of the last level of the game this time was actually to collect stone slabs to leave en masse and that unity and cooperation were required?

This disrupted their plan of inciting emotions to make the players fight a civil war.

"No matter what, we can't let the Bugs succeed in picking up their queen. It's a once-in-a-lifetime chance for the Bug Queen to fall out, it's simply an opportunity given by fate, if we don't succeed this time, it'll be difficult to catch him again in the future."

Because of this reason, the alien race also sent their elite fleet to block the seven countries' warships, and at the same time activated a few core spies, firstly, to wreak havoc in the combined fleet of the seven countries, and secondly, to infiltrate the game party to see if they could control the organs of this game, and indirectly control the entire game planet.

After that, the Bug army and the alien army met narrowly, and they had been fighting for three days and three nights.

The Bug Race's defense spying was real trash, the top generals had a spy, and there were two of the vice generals and even more of the others.

The battle hadn't even been fought yet, and the Insect Race had suffered heavy losses on their side, which was why they had fought the alien army for so long.

Enemies met and the battle was fierce, and although An Yinong didn't see it, the Queen's senses let him know that a war was going on outside and that it was for him.

"...... The distance is still far." The malice of the Fae was directed at the 'Queen', which was equal to targeting 'An Yinong' as a person, a situation where he could use his ability to spell the offender remotely.

But the place where the war was burning was just too far away from him.

On the twenty-fifth day of the game, a huge hot air balloon landed in the park in front of the Sky Tower, and the cloaked An Yinong walked out of it.

Several players and animals had gathered in the tiny Rainbow City, and the largest crowd was near the Sky Tower.

They all deduced that if a spaceship appeared, the most likely place would be near the Sky Tower, and they would have to grab a spot first.

Of course, at this moment, none of their expressions were too good, even to the point of frustration. It was evident that the work of collecting the stone slabs wasn't going well, so much so that it caused people to despair.

It wasn't completely desperate yet because there were still two and a half days left.

An Yinong's appearance aroused great curiosity and instinctive goodwill. The people blocking the road in front of them consciously dispersed, leaving the road wide enough, and with respectful attitudes and eager eyes.

It was strange, obviously still the same group of people, but after he became the Queen, the world suddenly became a beautiful place, without hatred and malicious speculations, it seemed that everyone had turned into a good person.

Thinking that every day when he opened his eyes was the birds and flowers on earth paradise true goodness and beauty, and when he closed his eyes was love and hate and all kinds of earthly real seven deadly sins, An Yinong suddenly understood the previous queen's physical debilitation.

This world is too divided.

He still felt that it was smoother when their nature was exposed ah.

"Put the stone slabs in."

The bag of stone slabs was all poured in through the entrance, and the radio broadcasted across the city, "The Sky Tower has received one eleven stone slabs, and preparations are underway at fifty-eight out of sixty."

All those who heard the broadcast tilted their heads, "Eleven-one?"

The previous Sky Tower had already collected forty-seven stone slabs, but these slabs were collected a few days ago, and there was no change in the numbers for two whole days afterward as if someone had taken the slabs one step ahead of them.

The bugs suspected that it was the foreigners who were up to no good.

Seeing that today is the twenty-sixth day, and it is almost dark, but the stone slabs are still short of three pieces, everyone is a little disheartened, who knew that there is a divine warrior?

Now there are still two pieces missing, but there are still two days and one night.

Doesn't this mean that ...... hope is close at hand?

"It's just the opposite, all the slabs on the bright side have already been found, and to find two slabs in the remaining two days is tougher than finding ten slabs before, and the pressure is going to get bigger, and bigger.

"If we can't find the remaining two stone slabs in these two days, despair will come even more violently. These people might develop a tendency to self-destruct and destroy people, triggering a catastrophe before it comes."

The game designer looked at the few stone tablets on the control board that hadn't been turned in yet and grinned, "This person doesn't know if he wants to jump out and be the savior at the most critical time, or if he's so sure of himself that he'll be able to get out in one piece that he's prepared to coldly watch the players descend into a frenzy.

"What will he choose? It's something to look forward to."

His eyes narrowed into two curved slits, wondering which answer made him so expectant.

Everyone at this time thought that the remaining two stone slabs would soon be collected, yet time flashed by, and at noon on the twenty-seventh day, the number was still stuck here at fifty-eight.

"How could this be?" Great hope converted into great despair, and it triggered some riots. The closer it got to the end time, the more pressure everyone was under, and the greater the shock that arose when they collapsed.

"This can't be blamed on them, everyone is an untrained commoner, and what they had to deal with in the past were all the little things in life. Although they often encountered less-than-ideal ones, there wasn't a single thing that they would die if they failed. But this time, the pressure was too great as the slightest mistake would result in death.

"From this perspective, survival games, don't mean much to ordinary people."

The one who spoke was An Yinong who was standing in front of the Sky Tower, he had also sent animals to search the neighborhood in the past two days, only to find nothing.

It was more difficult to find the remaining two stone slabs than before.

He didn't have much time to dwell on it, and immediately called for Windchild's father, the stout Royal Wind Beast, which was so fantastically fast that it was able to turn around the entire game venue in a day, "I'm going to check out the north venue."

He and Qin left Rainbow City sitting on the back of the Mikado Beast.

"Is it okay?" The people around them were worried if the newborn queen was someone who could be moved by prayers, they all wanted to beg him to protect them first.

"They will return safely." Tina, who had stayed put, looked at Windrider, who had also stayed put, "I have absolute faith in both of them."

They arrived at the north meeting hall, which was almost identical to the south meeting hall, and theoretically, the location of the stone slab in the south meeting hall was also the location of the stone slab in the north meeting hall. But after searching several consecutive times in the location where the treasure chests were originally placed, they only found a few empty treasure chests.

"There are no traces of being moved on the outside, and there are no fingerprints or other residues on the surface of the treasure chests, but the stone slabs inside are missing."

This search was just too clean like it had been carefully searched through with a special method. However if someone had searched once, how could there be more than forty gaps?

Could it be hard to believe that it could be a foreign race?

An Yinong was at a loss for words, he had no other way but to grit his teeth and continue onward, searching for the stone slabs.

He searched for an afternoon and went through a building collapse crisis before finding a stone slab that had been lost in the dirt. His arm was pierced by broken glass, and the blood-stained shoulder piece of his shirt was red, making it look a bit of a mess.

"Damn!" The viewers of the live broadcast cursed, not at An Yinong, but at their powerless selves.

"Why did you leave the Queen alone, why didn't Qin go and protect him?!"

The viewers knew that this was an insolent relocation of anger, Qin was also searching, and he was in no less trouble than An Yinong.

An Yinong endured the pain and pulled off the broken glass, a relatively intact piece, there should be no crumbs left in his body. Only then did he apply the 'blessing' to himself, the wound healed quickly, and soon not a trace of the injury could be seen.

"Mai." Qin came over to him, "I smell ......" He saw a large smear of blood on his shirt.

An Yinong, who had been acting very brave and calm before, frowned as soon as he saw Qin, "I was just stabbed by the glass, it hurts."

It doesn't hurt at all after the blessing, he is ...... pampered.

Without saying a word, Qin took off his protective suit and put it on for An Yinong.

The costume in his size was more or less ill-fitting on An Yinong, the sleeves had to be folded over and so did the pants legs. An Yinong let him dress himself, smiling from start to finish, "So this is what it feels like to wear your boyfriend's clothes, very secure."

Qin lowered his head to straighten the folds, his ears reddening.

The two searched all night, bleeding and sweating, but in the end, they just found a piece.

"There's no time, go back first." The situation wasn't good, but An Yinong still kept his composure, and he was already thinking about how to leave this place smoothly if he failed to collect the stone slabs.

The biggest obstacle in front of him was from the sky, that is, the mushroom clouds and volcanic ash caused by volcanic eruptions. Think about it, the energy of a single volcanic eruption was equivalent to several or even dozens of small nuclear bombs, that power wasn't enough for a person to drink a pot.

Of course, considering that the entire venue was covered by a hood, the power of a simulated volcanic eruption wouldn't be that exaggerated.

The two of them rode the Royal Wind Beast against the wind, and even though it was an artificial sky, it still had a dizzying beauty. An Yinong stretched out his hand, his fingers curved as if grasping that orange-red sun.

Qin hugged his waist and looked at the golden setting sun in his palm, the sunlight dyed his eyelashes and the broken hair at the corner of his forehead golden.

"Scared?" Qin asked him in a low voice.

Everyone knew what he was asking, and An Yinong thought for a moment, "It's impossible to say I'm not afraid. However, even if we don't succeed, aren't there still three days left? For three days, if there isn't any other way, I'm just going to smash my way through the sky to make a safe exit."

Qin held An Yinong's outstretched hand, "I'll accompany you to smash."
